BIER Mountain and Laura’s

Good morning everyone!!  So…I didn’t post yesterday…mainly because I was exhausted, and sore, and a little drunk.  That, and we wanted to watch Once Upon a Time…so there was no posting…sorry 🙁

Yesterday, was one of Greg’s first Sundays off in what seems like FOREVER…so we went up to Bear Mountain for some hiking, and walking around.  It was a beautiful fall day, and we wanted to take FULL advantage of it.  We got up there around 11am, and learned that it was also Oktoberfest…which meant a LOT of beer, and food, and music…and fun-ness…but it didn’t really start until 12pm.

So…we began to hike…started with some stairs made of rock…and we just kept going…until we reached about half-way up the mountain…we were LITERALLY climbing the mountain on stairs, and I had just about had enough…my hips hurt, my knees hurt, and I couldn’t do it anymore…so Greg bribed me with some beer (yay!), and we went back down the mountain, walked right over to Oktoberfest, and grabbed some beers (Stiegl & Franziskaner among others) and food.  YUM!!!  We had an AMAZING day – talked about everything, did our fair share of judging (LOL)…and just relaxed…

I took a lot of pictures yesterday, but here’s the highlights…notice the little Bavarian boy…had to take a picture of him – he was just so friggin’ cute!!!

We left around 3pm because we had to get to a friend’s housewarming party…we BARELY made it off the mountain, and it started to rain…half-way off, it started to HAIL.  Um…what?  Weird…here’s a picture of that…

We finally make it to Laura’s…well, Laura’s boyfriend’s new place.  Super cute, right?  It’s a magnet on his fridge…awe 🙂

Then there were goats…don’t ask, because even I don’t have an explanation…LOL
